4 But first, let’s recap! Zhou Dynasty – formally ended around 774 BCE
Regional kingdoms that eventually fought each other  Warring States Period (230 years) Ends when Shi Huangdi unites the seven kingdoms into the Qin Dynasty

5 But first, let’s recap! During the fragmented Zhou and the Warring States Period, three philosophers start to question humanity Predict: what do problems do you think they want to solve? Why does humanity act the way it does? How do we maintain order? DRAW ON BOARD EMILY

6 LEGALISM Based on this statue – what do you think legalism is like?
This is a statue of Lord Shang, whose principles laid the foundation for Chinese legalism. Based on this statue – what do you think legalism is like? LEGALISM

7 LEGALISM Powerful absolute ruler People are bad
In order for people to stop being bad, you need one supreme authority figure who will bring order to chaos Powerful absolute ruler Threat of punishment will force people to give up their individuality to the absolute ruler

8 CONFUCIANISM Based on relationships and respect
Hierarchical and harmonious relationships Society functions best when everyone plays their part Education highly important

9 CONFUCIANISM – 5 RELATIONSHIPS
Status Age Gender Ruler  subject Father  son Husband  wife Older brother  younger brother Older friend  younger friend Filial piety  respect your elders! Loyalty, honesty, and obedience to superiors

10 DAOISM Dao = “the path” Goal: Create societal harmony by living according to the natural laws of the universe If something is wrong, it’s because things are unbalanced Individualistic: if you are at peace, it doesn’t matter what the world is like Formed as a result from witnessing the Warring States period

11 Yang DAOISM Yin Cultural institutions are harmful & unnecessary
Masculine Active Light Warmth Strong Cultural institutions are harmful & unnecessary Gov’t should feed people and that’s it Humans must ignore societal rules of behavior Must seek Dao through meditation and reflection Yin Yang Feminine Passive Darkness Cold Weak Balance – if something is wrong in your life – it’s because something is unbalanced

12 Quick discussion: Which philosophy do you think the first leader of a united China will embrace? Why?

13 QIN DYNASTY – 221 – 206 BCE Shi Huangdi: “First Emperor” of China
The good: Standardized weights, currency, and laws Formalized a writing system Built infrastructure: Roads Canals The Great Wall Legalists = strong central authority . Shi means first, huang means emperor. Why was he able to do all these things? BC he had all the power

The bad: The Great Wall Million+ laborers Peasants, rebels, dissenters Many deaths Legalists = strong central authority

15 QIN DYNASTY – 221 – 206 BCE Shi Huangdi: “First Emperor” of China
The bad but also impressive: Terra Cotta Army Wanted to be immortal 700,000 workers, tomb covers 8 sq miles Builders buried alive with the emperor when he died  didn’t want robbers to learn of the vast riches Legalists = strong central authority

16 QIN DYNASTY – 221 – 206 BCE Shi Huangdi: “First Emperor” of China
The ugly: According to legend, Shi Huangdi died of poisoning Burned books Killed scholars (Confucian) Thought he was drinking an elixir of mortality Destroyed opposition

17 QUICK DISCUSSION: Which quote do you agree with more, and why?
Quote 1: “[Shi Huangdi] placed deceit and violence above kindness and justice, making tyranny the foundation of his empire.” – The Sins of Qin Quote 2: “Qin Shi Huangdi was a conqueror, a unifier, a centralizer, a standardizer, a builder, and a destroyer.”
